Rationale
Ko-fi is primarily a creator monetization platform, allowing creators to receive donations, sell products, and offer memberships. While it supports various types of creators, including writers, it does not offer a rich text editor for content creation, nor does it have a distribution and recommendation engine for content. It focuses on providing tools for creators to manage their income and fan interactions. It does offer membership monetization, user profiles, and social sharing capabilities.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
